DEBRIS COLLECTION SPACE
The mounting depth of this appliance is 180mm.
In accordance with BS 5871 part 2, minimum debris collection volumes are required behind the installed
appliance. These are shown in the table below and as dimension X on the fireplace diagram shown previ-
ously.
CLAY/CEMENT LINES OR BLOCK FLUE WHICH IS NEW, UNUSED, OR PREVIOUSLY ONLY USED WITH A
GAS FIRE X Dimension = 20mm
UNLINED FLUE OR CHIMNEY WHICH HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY USED FOR A SOLID FUEL OR OIL
BURNING APPLIANCE X Dimension = 60mm
VENTILATION
This appliance requires purpose provided ventilation of at least 8.75cm
2
.
The requirements of other
appliances operating in the same room or space must be taken into consideration when assessing ventila-
tion.
If spillage is detected when commissioning the appliance, then amongst other problems there may be insuf-
ficient ventilation for correct operation of the flue. If the appliance does not spill with the windows open, but
spillage is detected with the windows closed, this demonstrates a lack of ventilation and will require the
installation of additional ventilation. If spillage is still detected with the windows open, the flue is at fault.
Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2. Vents fitted under or within the
immediate vicinity (500mm) of the appliance must not be used as adverse effects to the operation of the ODS
may occur.
Spillage detected during commissioning is almost always a result of poor flue performance that cannot be
corrected by any amount of ventilation.
For Republic of Ireland ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS 327, and any other rules in force.
PREFABRICATED FLUE BOXES
This appliance can be fitted into a number of proprietary
flue boxes provided that the minimum dimensions given
in the diagram below are complied with.
Constructional Note:
The frame of the fire, any back
panel or other infill panels, and the flue box must be
sealed together so that there is no possibility of leakage
between them. Adequate clearances to combustible
materials (e.g. false chimney breast construction) must
be maintained.
The manufacturers’ instructions for fitting the pre-
fabricated box shall be complied with at all times.
To fit the fire using the cable fixing kit, some minor
adaption may be necessary for certain flue boxes. A
check should be made to ensure the firebox does not
obscure the flue box outlet.
The firebox, base of the flue box, and hearth below may
be drilled to allow plugs and screws to secure installation.
It is important that the sealing requirements of the appliance are met at all times and that the flue box is
well sealed to any back or infill panel.
Note:
The DEPTH dimension is inclusive of any back or infill panel.
UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE
Stand the carton the right way up, cut the strapping bands and remove the top endcap. Read

tions before continuing to unpack or install this appliance.
Remove the box containing the firefront, and the bags containing the ceramic components. Remove the card-
